Abstract

This paper proposes the efficient transmit antenna selection (TAS) scheme considering trade-off between the performance and the complexity in massive MIMO system. The massive MIMO system is a core technology to achieve performance objectives for 5 generation wireless communication. It achieve high spectral efficiency, a reliability, and a diversity gain. However many RF chains required by massive transmit antennas equipped in a base station create the problem such as high hardware cost and complexity. Therefor we investigates the transmit antenna selection scheme, in which the number of RF chains of BS is reduced, and the trade-off between the performance and the complexity is considered for proposed scheme. And, the spectral efficiency and complexity are analysed by transmit antenna selection schemes.

본 논문에서는 다중사용자 Massive MIMO 시스템 환경에서 계산 복잡도와 성능의 균형을 고려한 효율적인 송신 안테나 선택 기법을 제안한다. Massive MIMO 시스템은 차세대 5G 이동 통신의 목표 성능을 달성하기 위한 핵심 기술 중 하나로, 높은 주파수 효율과 신뢰성, 다중화 이득 등을 얻을 수 있다. 하지만 기지국에 장착되는 대규모 송신 안테나들과 RF chain은 높은 하드웨어 비용과 복잡도, 높은 소비 전력 등의 문제를 야기한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기지국의 RF chain의 수를 줄이는데 효과적인 송신 안테나 선택기법을 연구하고, 기존의 기법에서 성능과 복잡도의 균형을 고려한 새로운 송신 안테나 선택 기법을 제안한다. 또한 주파수 효율분석과 함께 최적의 안테나를 찾는데 필요한 탐색 수 분석을 통해 각 송신 안테나 기법 별 성능과 복잡도를 나타낸다.
